Iceland
Chase the Northern Lights in a Super Jeep

Dubai
Dune Bedouin camp adventure
In Dubai, you’ll revel in the city’s affordable dining, opulent shopping malls, golf courses sprung from a desert landscape, and gold haggling as a local sport. Here, the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel sits like a giant yacht, an enduring reminder that Dubai has transformed permanently from a traditional quiet fishing village of decades ago.

Seoul
Get a riveting, behind-the-scenes tour of the DMZ

Buenos Aires
A la vida guacho
If you weren’t in South America, speaking Spanish, you might think you were in a European city.

But with your AutoVenture private car and guide, you’ll get closer to the culture and enjoy the best of Buenos Aires. You’ll quickly appreciate why the Argentines revel in the richness of their grand architecture, monuments, cuisine, futból (soccer), opera and dance.

India
On Tiger Safari
For all the trials and travails facing the world’s tiger population, it’s gratifying to know that there are sanctuaries where they are protected and allowed to grow. Even better, there are exotic locations such as Northern India’s Ranthambhor National Park where travelers can see them in the wild.
Mississippi Delta
Highway 61 Revisited
Highway 61, from Memphis to Vicksburg, is catnip to musicians moved by the blues. Many aficionados and casual fans make pilgrimages to see where musicians from Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, to Bessie Smith and B.B. King learned to play and sing.
Napa
Experience the art of wine making
Some wine aficionados relish the tasting protocol of squinting, swirling, sniffing, sipping and then spitting … while others prefer to simply pop a cork, take a hearty gulp and smack their lips. No matter what your approach is to enjoying a fine glass of wine, you will have a memorable time touring bountiful Napa Valley with AutoVenture as your guide.
